Private Project

Shelter

Eva goes on a road trip for her best friend Laura's birthday. This is interrupted as they help a girl who went out of gas. Eva is prevented from experiencing the present adventure because of her boyfriend Miguel, who has been distant on the phone. After a moment of euphoria when they rob a gas station, Eva forms a new friendship, puts Miguel on hold, and reconnects with Laura and her surroundings.
